History

In 1949, New Mexico State Teachers College became New Mexico Western College. At the same time, the name of the high school was changed to Western High. In 1960, the school became under the authority of the Silver City Board of Education. At that time, the school's name was changed from Western High School to Silver High School.

In 1966, the present high school building was opened on 32nd street and Silver streets.

The dedication for the new building was held on Sunday, October 29, 1967, at 2:30 p.m., where Superintendent John H. Gaines presided. The school's construction had ended the summer before. At the time, the present enrollment of Silver High was 568 for the 10th, 11th and 12th grades, which was a 15% increase from the year before. The new high school started with 28 teachers plus administrative and maintenance staff. [2]
